Directed by Keith Baxter
December 12th, 2007 – January 13th, 2008
The beginning of their engagement is in the middle of the dark.
A young starving artist, Brindsley Miller, anxiously readies himself to meet his girlfriend, Carol’s, conservative father. The dinner’s prepped, the furniture’s borrowed, and the nerves’ calmed for the perfect evening of meet-the-Colonel. What could possibly go wrong? British theatre legend Keith Baxter returns to Juneau after directing last season’s smash hit Noises Off to direct this farce beyond farces. The Perseverance Acting Company literally falls head over heels in this comedy set in the dark.
